The two left the building to get | | a closer look. Neighborhood dogs were barking and horses in a field | | were also making noise. As they got closer they could see a huge | | oval-shaped object resting on a road. It had a rounded window on top | | that emanated a golden glow, and the red lights were coming from the | | front and rear of the craft. They then noticed an indistinct | | "egg-shaped" figure moving around inside the craft. Another employee | | of the nursing home and the woman's husband also witnessed the object | | when he came to pick them up. The UFO rose up into the sky and | | disappeared quickly into the dark sky. There was a large burned area | | 60 feet in diameter at the landing site.

The lower part of their bodies were | | black and the upper parts were yellow in color. The sphere and the | | humanoids suddenly vanished in plain sight.

He waved his arm and saw a white light at the rear move to the | | center and beam directly into his eyes for a few seconds. The object | | continued in flight until it moved out of sight, at an estimated | | speed of 200 mph. It made no sound as it flew.
